The engineering course in particular greatlyimpacted existing Montessori curricular content by deepening connections acrossdisciplines, informing Montessori pedagogy, and addressing the requirements fornew engineering content in Minnesota state standards.

Sensors will be used as the model for this discussion. Sensors sense the physical universe via a front end using chemistry or physics such as stress, strain, or electromagnetics. At the rear end of sensor systems we again see physics but in the form of electronics—voltage, current, resistance, capacitance, light and color, sound, or interaction with humans.
